Before the election last year, Copper hit rising support at (3) and spent a good six months testing this support. After support held for a good length of time, a rally then took place, pushing it up to test the top of falling channel resistance.

Of late, Doc Copper is breaking above 6-year falling resistance at (4), which historically is a positive sign for Copper. Positive sign for other companies in the industry? Sure could be.

The Power of the Pattern has liked the looks of Doc Coppers chart for a good while. Due to the pattern, Premium and Metals members bought Freeport McMoran (FCX) two months ago. So far FCX is up over 10% and has been much stronger than the broad market.
